Stepan Zemtsov, Cand. Sci. (Geogr.), Leading Researcher at Institute of Applied Economic Research RANEPA, spoke about natural, technological and social risks that are likely to arise in the coming decade. The webinar was attended by over 50 experts and local government officials.

The webinar participants reached a consensus on the following discussion points: a) when developing strategies, risks and security issues should be carefully analyzed and taken into account, understanding that they will not always be included in the official document by the customer; b) strategic management should consider a crisis management plan; c) SMEs are the backbone of a territorial socio-economic system, strengthening its resilience and adaptability.
